Binominal Lexemes in Cross-Linguistic Perspective
Ein Kapitel aus dem Buch Binominal Lexemes in Cross-Linguistic Perspective

Abstract

Phrasal construction schemas (postulated within the framework of Construction Morphology) can be instantiated either by free syntactic combinations or by compound-like phrasal nouns in Polish (traditionally referred to as “juxtapositions“). Two types of Polish phrasal nouns are discussed in this chapter: NN.gen juxtapositions consisting of a head noun and a postmodifying noun in the genitive case, and NArel juxtapositions, in which a head noun is followed by a relational adjective. Juxtapositions resemble morphological compounds in being able to motivate (semantically) suffixal derivatives as well as compound nouns or compound adjectives. Phrasal nouns exhibit other features of lexical units since their constituents (in spite of being independently inflected) are shown to be syntactically minimal and non-referential. It is emphasized that phrasal nouns function as naming units that can fill the gaps for non-existing morphological compounds. In the case of pairs consisting of phrasal nouns and compound nouns which contain the same stems, their semantic interpretation is compared. Brief comments are offered on the coexistence of synonymous NN.gen and NArel juxtapositions.
